However, I'd like to be able to get the output of my datatextbox function and I was wondering if I can some how call the function directly by passing the event_obj to it. I'd greatly appreciate your suggestions, or any other solutions to get the output arguments.=============

If you make datatextbox a nested function, every variable in its workspace will also be available in the workspace in which it is nested.
